About REEL: Resilience and Engagement for Every Learner.

“REEL is a Bay Area-based nonprofit organization with a national reach, supporting neurodivergent, twice-exceptional (2e) learners by building bridges between their educators and parents. While not ignoring the real struggles created by living in a world that often focuses more on their challenges, we believe in the power and potential of neurodivergent, twice-exceptional learners, and center our work on their strengths and possibilities.”

🌟Honored to present a poster on grassroots innovation by Youth for Neurodiversity to empower neurodivergent youth. Many thanks to Stanford Center for Neurodiversity and Human Potential for accepting the abstract and Dr. Lawrence Fung for his encouragement and kind words. — Aashna, Founder

Background:
- Disproportionate bullying & isolation among ND teens¹
- More missed diagnoses & masking among ND girls²
- Few peer programs connecting ND & NT teens
- Limited ND youth representation in digital wellness & school tech policy youth advisory boards

Opportunity:
- Harness neuroscience of empathy in developing teen brains
- Build strengths-based understanding among NT teens
- Create peer-to-peer, collaboration opportunities across neurotypes
- Champion co-design and Youth Participatory Action Research
- Amplify youth voices. Empower with decision-making

Objective:
- Worldwide community of neurodiverse teens and young adults—jointly championing strengths, lived experiences, art in health, universal design, assistive technologies, sensory spaces, youth-engaged research, and ND-inclusive public policy. Nothing About Us Without Us.

For outcomes, future plans, and references, checkout the poster or reach out for a meeting. Link in bio.
